MONROVIA, LIBERIA — Former Montserrado County District #10 Representative Yekeh Kolubah has delivered a startling response to journalists following his arrival in Liberia from Accra, Ghana, dismissing speculation that he was returning home to reconcile with President Joseph Nyuma Boakai.
Kolubah, who was met by journalists at the airport upon his arrival today, said he was happy to be back in Liberia. However, when asked whether he had returned to meet President Boakai and apologize to the Liberian leader, the former lawmaker responded in emphatic terms.
“If I will ever apologize to Boakai, then I killed my mother,” Kolubah declared.
His statement appeared to contradict rumors circulating ahead of his arrival that he was coming home to seek reconciliation with the President.
Kolubah did not provide further details explaining his response, nor did he elaborate on whether any communication had taken place between him and the Liberian leader ahead of his return.
Reconciliation Rumors Dismissed?
Speculation about a possible reconciliation between Kolubah and President Boakai had circulated before the former lawmaker’s arrival from Ghana.
However, his response to journalists has raised fresh questions about the state of his relationship with the President and whether any reconciliation effort is being considered.
Kolubah’s remarks suggest that he is not prepared to publicly endorse the idea of apologizing to Boakai, although he offered no additional explanation of his position.
The former lawmaker has been a prominent political figure in Liberia, known for his outspoken public statements and confrontational exchanges with political leaders.
His latest remarks are likely to attract attention amid Liberia’s continuing political debates and discussions about relationships between prominent political figures.
What Happens Next?
Kolubah’s statement leaves unanswered questions about the circumstances surrounding his return and whether he intends to engage in any political discussions with the Boakai administration.
For now, the former lawmaker has made his position on apologizing to the President clear in his response to journalists, but he has not provided further details about his plans following his arrival.
Neither a meeting with President Boakai nor any formal reconciliation arrangement has been established by the information available at the time of reporting.
